What are antioxidants, and why are they
important?
Antioxidants are substances that fight free
radicals.
When they get out of hand, free radicals attack
your body’s healthy cells, weaken your immune system,
interfere with your body’s normal functions and, consequently,
contribute to premature aging and
tens of chronic, degenerative diseases.
You cannot escape free radicals — they
are everywhere — but you
can have antioxidants lessen their negative impact on your
life and health.
Antioxidants stabilize and
neutralize free radicals by binding with them. Consequently,
these “free radical scavengers” may help slow
down aging and prevent or even revert many diseases.
Some antioxidants are produced by your body.
Others must be acquired through your diet. The best known
antioxidants in the latter group are: vitamins A, C and E,
selenium, resveratrol, curcumin, and flavonoids. You can obtain
them from your food, mostly colorful fruits and vegetables,
but carefully selected supplements can be more effective.

Health Benefits of
Isotonix OPC-3
Isotonix OPC-3 was introduced by Market America
in 1992. Some of its health benefits observed since then by
researchers, physicians, and patients include:
• Healthy complexion
• Improved cardiovascular health
• Improved cholesterol and blood sugar levels
• Improved joint flexibility
• Improved overall health
• Improved visual health and acuity
• Increased energy
• Pain relief (menstrual cramps, arthritis, post-surgery,
etc.)
• Reduced allergic reactions
• Reduced inflammation
|
Why is Isotonix OPC-3 the ULTIMATE antioxidant?
The flavonoids called OPCs (oligomeric
proanthocyanidins) are the most potent antioxidants
known to science. They can neutralize 20 times more free radicals
than vitamin C, and 50 times more than vitamin E.
Composed of five super potent
antioxidants — grape seed extract, red wine
extract, pine bark extract (pycnogenol), bilberry fruit extract,
and citrus extract — Isotonix OPC-3
delivers unparalleled protection from free radicals.
Another quality that sets Isotonix OPC-3 apart
from other antioxidants is its isotonic
formula. It offers the maximum health benefit
by enabling your body to absorb about 95% of all nutrients
it contains in just a few minutes. In contrast, most
pills, tablets and capsules only give you 10% to 70% absorption
rate, often over many hours.
The high absorption rate is crucial here, as
OPCs are particularly difficult to absorb when acquired from
foods or taken in non-isotonic formulas.
Is OPC-3 right for YOU?
DISCLAIMER: OPC-3 is likely to relieve
your symptoms but is NOT guaranteed to treat your disease.
Do NOT stop taking your prescribed medications without consulting
your doctor first!
Isotonix OPC-3 is Market America’s best

for them.
The best way to find out if Isotonix OPC-3 is

How Do You Take and Dose
Isotonix OPC-3?
How do you make an Isotonix serving?
All Isotonix supplements come with two caps,
as illustrated below.
To
make 1 serving, mix 1 SMALL
capful of powder with HALF
of the LARGE capful of water (use the
white line painted on the large cap).
If you need a larger dose of OPC-3, multiply
both the powder capfuls and the water half-capfuls by
the same number so you maintain the correct proportions
and the isotonic quality. |
|
 |
|
Some customers who
live in humid climates complain that the bottle may
become messy and the powder may cake. To avoid this:
1. Once
you have used the large cap to measure water, do NOT
put it back on the bottle.
2. Use one
small cap to measure the powder, and another one (clean
and dry) to close the bottle.
|
How do you dose Isotonix OPC-3?
Typically, the recommended dose is 1 serving
per 75 pounds of your body weight per day during the first
week. After that you can lower the dose to 1 serving per 150
pounds of your body weight per day.
If you have a chronic disease, it is recommended
that you take 1 serving per 75 pounds of your body weight
plus an additional serving “for the disease” —
and continue to do so beyond the first week, as long as needed.
You can lower your dose once symptoms subside.

When should you take Isotonix OPC-3?
For best results, be sure to take OPC-3 on
an empty stomach, with room temperature,
preferably filtered water.
If you’re taking a single serving, take
it on an empty stomach, first thing after you get up. If you’re
taking multiple servings, you can take them all at once when
you get up, or some before breakfast and the balance before
dinner or before bed time, whenever your stomach is emptier.

Contraindications to
Taking Isotonix OPC-3
OPC-3 has mild blood thinning qualities, therefore
do NOT take it at all if you are on a prescription blood
thinner. In this case, consider the Isotonix
Maximum ORAC Formula instead.
If prior to starting on OPC-3 you have digestive
issues, such as diarrhea or constipation, take care
of them before you start taking OPC-3 (or any other new supplement,
for that matter).
Discontinue taking OPC-3
temporarily in the following circumstances:
• For about a week before
any surgery (including tooth extractions) and until
all desired blood clots have formed. OPC-3’s
blood thinning action could interfere with blood clotting.
• For about a week before
any transplant surgery and until
it’s certain that the transplant has been accepted by
your body (could be as long as a year). OPC-3 boosts
your immune system, which could in turn cause transplant rejection.
It’s best to discontinue all antioxidant supplements
until the transplant is accepted.
If you have any other medical concerns, consult
your doctor. Also feel free to send
us your questions, and the health care professionals
on our team will be delighted to answer them for you.

Our Isotonix
OPC-3 Story
You can learn what other people say about OPC-3
by reading hundreds of customer
reviews (you can also add your own!). Here are
a couple of snapshots of our own experience with this antioxidant:
| 
Magz, on OPC-3 since 2004 |
| Market America claims
that Isotonix OPC-3 “helps reduce mild menstrual
cramping and abdominal pain.” Well…
mine were no mild
menstrual cramps. They used to be so severe that
I would be rendered useless for 2 or 3 days each
month, and while I may have not howled, I would
often cry out of pain. These symptoms disappeared
completely a few months after I started taking
OPC-3. I wish I had found it 25 years earlier!
Also, before OPC-3, I used to get
the flu or a bad
cold at least 2 or 3 times each flu season.
Some of them would keep me in bed for a week at
a time. I have had the flu ONCE in my
six years on OPC-3! Other than that, a few
times I woke up feeling like I was coming down
with something, but I’d double my OPC-3
dose and the “bleh” feeling would
be gone by the time I finished breakfast.
Another “perk” —
my cold sores are all
gone. I used to be getting them every 6 weeks
or so, and they would linger for a couple of weeks
at a time. I did get 2 or 3 cold sores after I
started taking OPC-3, but they disappeared after
just a few days, and they happened a long, long
time ago. |
|
| I used to suffer
from seasonal allergies,
for which I took Flonase. I’d go through
my initial prescription and 5 or more refills
each allergy season. After 2 or 3 years on OPC-3,
one Flonase nasal inhaler would last me a year.
Frankly, I don’t recall using Flonase at
all in the last couple of years! This year I didn’t
even renew the prescription.
I’ve noticed other benefits,
too. I used to have really bad
knees. The joint pain
was so bad that I had to stop running. Now my
knees don’t bother me at all and I’m
back to running again.
I also can’t remember the
last time I had a cold.
I occasionally wake up with a scratchy
throat, so I double my dose of OPC-3 for
a couple of days. Not only does the scratchy throat
go away, I also end up with so much extra
energy that I can stay up a lot later than
usual without feeling tired at all!
